So as of yesterday, I am not getting anymore xp.

I believe im on a 10+ win streak. Im not sure if its due to that but I am getting 500xp (instead of the usual 125 per win) and double 300 shards per win (instead of 300). How great I thought, however when examining my xp bar. its stuck at 175 for the past 4 matches.

So instead of getting 500 per match im getting 0.

I have made a support ticket and wil upload screenies to show I am playin more matches but not gaining any xp

Ok, so I've hardly played at all and I was so underwhelmed that I turned it off and uninstalled. What were the UX team thinking about putting in essentially the menu system from Windows Solitaire? I then tried the tutorial, it's as if the game team are stuck in 1997 as there's been no discernable gameplay development since Age of Empires 1. Just these two points have put me off even bothering to spend time going any further. The in-game graphics were lovely, but to keep my limited game time focused on your game rather than any other there needs to be more than that. Have I been unfair, should I have persisted despite my initial negative feelings? With a limitless number of games on the market devs really do need to try harder.

I've enjoyed the Settlers series of games as they came out over the years (though they have been going downhill in my estimation over the past two editions), and so I am disappointed this has turned out the way it has. I'll keep one eye on the Ubi news feed in the hope to see if things change.
